Force Machine

6070

BETTER KNOWN TO FIREFIGHTERS AS “THE KEISER”

The Keiser Force Machine was originally designed for the Firefighter Combat Challenge® to simulate the chopping motion used in firefighting. It employs the same kinetics and ergonomics as those used with an axe, with the benefit of a safer and resource-free training and conditioning exercise. It is an efficient and durable means of training and testing emergency services personnel who use axes and sledgehammers in their occupations.

  • Biomechanically correct design
  • Polyethylene glides on bottom of I-beam for consistent running service
  • Used in the annual Firefighter Combat Challenge
  • Certified and endorsed by On-Target
  • To use the Force Machine, an individual stands on the footwalks, straddling the I-beam then strikes the I-beam using the specifically designed 9 lb dead-blow sledgehammer
  • It takes an average of twenty to twenty-five strikes to move the I-beam 5 feet (1.5m) a level of effort consistent with many forcible entry situations
  • The movement accurately reflects structural firefighting tasks

For firefighters, CrossFitters, and all athletes chasing raw power. Meet the Keiser Force machine.
